• Window-Switcher: Alt+(backtick) same-app window switching for Windows 10/11

  This area only recently, but I think macOS is still behind. When I'm using macOS, I can't stand the GUI without these tools: Rectangle: https://rectangleapp.com/ Easy Move+Resize: https://github.com/dmarcotte/easy-move-resize They move the macOS desktop usability near the place where KDE was in. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• Edge – Closing a 30 pixel gap between native and web

  Yep, I find it pretty funny that my #1 favorite desktop UI feature is from Linux. One of the first things I'll put on a fresh install of Windows or MacOS is a utility that re-creates the behavior. I use AltDrag on Windows (requires a quick tweak for HiDPI): https://stefansundin.github.io/altdrag/ And Easy Move + Resize on MacOS: https://github.com/dmarcotte/easy-move-resize. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Moving a macOS window by clicking anywhere on it

  I've used Easy Move+Resize[0] for this and configured it to Alt+drag windows (like most Linux window managers). [0] https://github.com/dmarcotte/easy-move-resize. - Source: Hacker News / about 3 years ago

• macOS Sequoia is available today

  We may actually be seeing the moment where Moom[1] is no longer an essential OS X app. It can solve both window tiling and the "maximize problem" on mac and has been my first install for many years. Here's to hoping that Apple can get one basic OS feature right once. [1] https://manytricks.com/moom/. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Stapler: I remade a 32 year old classic Macintosh app

• Apple has not fixed the macOS audio left/right balance bug for 10 years

  Most of the time, I don’t. It sounds silly but macOS window management works best when you don’t micromanage and just let windows pile up at whichever size fits their content, kind of like papers on a desk. Instead I group windows by virtual desktop (space) on two monitors, switching out virtual desktops to mix and match sets of windows. Individual windows are rarely moved or resized.

• Yabai – A tiling window manager for macOS

  I similarly find something like Yabai a bit too heavy-handed for my needs, and instead prefer Moom[0]. I find that only need tiling occasionally, and for that Moom excels since it doesn’t add any new key shortcuts to memorize and is only ever visibly present when hovering your cursor over a window’s green button. Its Aero Snap equivalent is optional and turned off by default too, which is great for me (I trigger... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Rethinking Window Management in Gnome

  I ended up using Moom [1] to work around some of the oddities of macOS window management. It's relatively low-feature, mostly for window arrangements and sizing. I use it on a vertical monitor to split window placement horizontally, since macOS can only natively do vertical splits. It has other features too (like saving layouts and keyboard shortcuts), but I don't use them that much. 1. https://manytricks.com/moom/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
